Chance of rain today, but wet stuff more likely over the weekend

The gray and cloudy skies hovering above the Bay Area today will likely have more bark than bite.

There is a 30 percent chance of rain today throughout the Bay Area, but should some of the wet stuff fall, "there's not going to be much of it," said Diana Henderson, a forecaster with the National Weather Service.

"It will look threatening, but that will be the most of it," Henderson said.

Temperatures are expected to hit the upper-60s and low-70s today in the Bay Area, according to the weather service. In San Jose, a high of 69 is expected.

Partly sunny skies are expected to return Friday, with highs in the low 70s, according to the weather service.

There is a stronger chance of rain this weekend, but the Bay Area may not get more than a half-an-inch in locations closer to the hills, Henderson said.

"Unfortunately this weekend won't get us out of our dry spell," Henderson said.
